CEBIT 2005: AMD or Intel? Same Motherboard!

Here at CeBIT 2005, you see innovation galore, but at the ECS stand they have something truly special that stands out as being one of the hottest products of the show. HEXUS brings you the ECS PF88, the first mainboard to support both Intel P4 AND AMD Athlon 64 processors.

man it's so new, it has no name, not even a codename at the time of writing.

ROFL its printed on th boards in the pictures "PF88 Rev A"

Also it seems they stole the idea from ASUS subsidary ASROCK's use of "upgrade cards" to update boards upgrade models (kt880 upgrade, 1869 ali upgrade) useing 462 or 754 sockets, to socket 754 and 939... So yes it's new to have board that supports either brand cpu's but the idea they based it on isn't

Benchmark results of a Pentium 4 nForce 4 system running ID Software's Doom 3, and perhaps in some comparisons, the platform as a whole is not looking too healthy.
